I noticed a book on her shelf called You Don\u2019t Need Meat. That\u2019s really what planted the seed of vegetarianism in my diet. I knew that meat being the <i>main course<\/i>&nbsp;was just conditioning in the mind, and I was ready to get healthier and discover a new universe of food.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><em>(I wish my eyes weren&#8217;t closed there, but it&#8217;s the only picture I have of us from that trip.)<\/em><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sunwarrior.com\/?utm_source=hawke&amp;utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_campaign=Yogi+Movement\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5893\" src=\"https:\/\/theyogimovement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/CIMG2306-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"monicadawnstone.com sunwarrior\" width=\"490\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theyogimovement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/CIMG2306-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theyogimovement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/CIMG2306-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theyogimovement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/CIMG2306-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theyogimovement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/CIMG2306.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What happened was I started experimenting with quinoa, lentils, farro, starfruit, kale, wheatgrass, spirulina, you name it. My energy started to go through the roof, my skin started to glow, and I just felt happier all around. I think it even improved my friendships and relationships.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I ended my vegan craze in 2013 because I wanted to add ghee in my diet, and I have no regrets. I\u2019m still a strict vegetarian and feel amazing, but the only&nbsp;thing that\u2019s been bringing me down is I lost the motivation for variety in my diet. My life became busy, and as an entrepreneur I have to actually&nbsp;schedule in time for myself. I\u2019ve fallen into the habit of cooking the same quick dish, and I needed to get back to my old energetic self.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How did I make this happen?

Let me tell you how:<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>1. Getting extra protein and greens in my diet<\/strong> has made me feel so much better that it\u2019s motivated me to eat healthier all around. I\u2019m actually making time for&nbsp;a variety of&nbsp;food again, and adding more color to my diet.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2. It actually tastes good. This is the hardest thing for me with the powder&nbsp;mixes. <strong>Oh my goodness. The chocolate protein shake is to die&nbsp;for<\/strong>!<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3. It\u2019s great on the go for when you\u2019re busy. If I\u2019m having a day where I don\u2019t have time to cook or be healthy &#8211; I can at least supplement a green smoothie and feel great all day!<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4. I&nbsp;always know that I\u2019m not low on protein. It\u2019s not difficult to get protein as a vegetarian or vegan, but if I\u2019m having a week where I\u2019m not eating right, I feel it in my bones. Having Sunwarrior around is a guarantee that I\u2019ll always feel great.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5. I\u2019m more focused than I\u2019ve ever been and getting things done! I\u2019m currently going through a site rebrand, and I\u2019ve written a free guide (you\u2019ll find out about soon), started an ebook, have 5 blog posts finished, an editorial calendar complete, and making time for&nbsp;yoga practice! I don\u2019t even think I was even this productive in high school.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sunwarrior.com\/?utm_source=hawke&amp;utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_campaign=Yogi+Movement\">Check out Sunwarrior here &amp; tell me which product is your favorite, or the one you&#8217;re going to try?<\/a><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Time for your take on the topic:<\/span><\/h2>\n<div><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tell me in the comments what your trick is for breaking bad food habits!&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With love from my heart center,<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">-Monica<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is sponsored by Sunwarrior.
